[van-announce] NORMAN FINKELSTEIN @ UBC: January 21st. What We Can Learn from GANDHI: Resolving the Israel-Palestine Conflict

[usman x]

Soldiarity for Palestinian Human Rights- SPHR UBC
& Colour Connected bring you.... 

The amazing, famous, and better than ever, author of 5 books and one
on the way, Dr. Norman Finkelstein will be joining us at UBC

on J a n u a r y 2 1 s t , 2 0 0 9 

@ UBC in WOOD 2 at 6:30pm


He's Jewish and the son of holocaust survivors. This past summer he
was banned from entering Israel for another ten years- on the basis
that he was a security threat. He was denied tenure at Depaul
university, and has continuously battled Alan Dershowitz. He's
probably one of the most controversial and well known activists on the
Israel-Palestine scene. His staunch criticism of Israel, and
surprisingly friendly views towards Hezbullah have earned him the love
and hatred of many. He's the author of five books and numerous
articles, including "Beyond Chutzpah: On the misuse of Anti-Semitism
and the Abuse of History", "The Rise and Fall of Palestine", and
"Image & Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict", and "The Holocaust
Industry".

His lecture will be on what we can learn from Gandhi in regards to the
Israel & Palestine conflict, and how to apply Gandhi's theories.

There will also be a question and answer session along with a brief
book signing.
